Many coaches begin in this field because we're driven by the craving for more from life! Can you relate? It's easy to get stuck going through the motions — merely existing rather than feeling truly alive. So, you follow your passion for helping others and begin to build a coaching business. Now, you're a catalyst for transformation, guiding your clients down their own path of rediscovering their authentic selves.

I am thrilled to welcome business coach Candy Motzek to the podcast. Today, we explore the journey of becoming a coach and why self-connection is your greatest asset when it comes to building a successful coaching business. Candy specializes in empowering intelligent professionals to launch and grow their coaching businesses. She works with many women in midlife who are facing burnout in their careers and are yearning for something more fulfilling. Women in this stage of life often face a unique set of challenges. Whether it's perimenopause, kids growing up and leaving home, or simply waking up one day to the realization that there must be more to life than what you've experienced, this is a time for change and a time for coming back to who you truly are.

This journey of coming back to life is so important — not only for the purpose of discovering your desire to become a coach, but also for laying the groundwork for a thriving and sustainable coaching business. We'll dive into some of the steps you and your clients will take as you make this transformation and build a coaching business, as well as unpack the challenges that may arise when transitioning away from a structured, rule-oriented career environment and into the uncertainty and flexibility of having a coaching business. 

Regardless of your background, it can feel like you're making it up as you go when you build a coaching business. However, this experience doesn't have to feel frantic. When we view this venture from a creative perspective, this freedom enables us to build a business that aligns with our aspirations and best serves our clients. Each of us has the power to shape how we deliver our coaching and run our business. Channeling your creative spirit and fostering self-connection will allow both you and your business to come to life. Let's jump in!

What you'll learn:

• The power creativity has to connect us to our purpose
• Two common paths to the decision to build a coaching business
• Why rediscovering childhood creative practices helps build your capacity for running a coaching business
• How to navigate the shift from career structure to entrepreneurial freedom
• Advise for overcoming imposter syndrome and staying aligned with your values
